Gluten free & Hypothyroid

Well after years of expensive tests and stupidity with western docs I finally gave up and went to a Naturopath. I haven't felt this good since I was in college. If ever. I can't recommend Dr. Molly Force in Port Townsend highly enough. She has given me my life back. Turns out for years I have had hypothyroid and am super allergic to gluten. For years I asked to have my thyroid tested and thought it had been...the doctor made a mistake. I sort of knew about the gluten...I have tried in the past to go gluten free and or cut down on it. But now I have to go completely gluten free. I am also allergic to soy, dairy, corn, almonds, sesame,beef and peas. Combine that with my anti-inflammatory diet that rules out a lot of food. I usually cook from scratch thank goodness so that makes things easier.

Hi, I also am allergic to wheat and gluten. I had to insist that I be tested before it was confirmed. I used to always wonder why I felt bad after every meal no matter how bland. You know pasta and toast, etc. The enemy. I am also with hypothyroidism. The key to getting this under control is to take the medication synthyroid at least one hour before you eat. I recently purchased a bread machine, called "breadman pro" which has a cycle just for gluten free bread.Hope I've said something to help in some way.Be blessed. Carol

So tell me, what CAN you eat? I'm IBS-C myself and dairy intolerant.. (But I love it and eat it anyway!(fart,fart!). I can't have soymilk or almond milk for a dairy substitute because of the gas. Stress really hurts my abdominal "Hot spot", but probiotics, and magnesium supplements mean I cur down on my omeprasole for my acid reflux.
